Those who get Coolreader to work on Inkpad 2 are lucky. I wish I were that lucky.
Probably the most important and noticeable difference between Inkpad 2 and the earlier Inkpad is in their build: The newer Inkpad 2 has better hardware keys. Another thing I have noticed is that the internal storage has been upgraded silently on Inkpad 2 to 8GB. The first shipment of Inkpad 2 had 4GB internal storage. So different shipments of Inkpad 2 have differences.
The screen resolution, about 250 ppi, is okay. 300ppi (such as Kobo Aura One) would always be better, but there is nothing wrong with 250 ppi. 150ppi would be too bad.
To protect the screen, the cover is a must. The bezels around the screen of Inkpad 2 are thin plastic, so applying (very) hard pressure on the bezel may affect the screen. This is different in for example Touch HD which has thick bezels around the screen, plus rubber buffer between the bezel and the screen. Still, the cover must be obtained to any e-reader device you buy.
